Fred Heinig Reminded of Boyhood ||s. Experience By/War Dispatch li From Golitz.

,,, (By F. H. Heinis, 2047 N. 12th St.) |v|\ Editor "of the Tribune—Mention of town of Golitz in the Tribune war iipatches the other day reminded me eeiily of my boyhood days. I saw

Something in Golitz that will probably fteyer happen again for any human being to see. I 'ftas then about nine years of age and my parents were living in |he little town of Gdlitz, only not quite one mile from Leipzig in the kingdom

•ots

Saxony. Wo have a number of our, ^citizens in Terre Haute who studied I^JhUiic in Leipzig and are still Hying ptere. "JSVhat I am about to describe iStvas. the execution of a man who had

"killed several .people and was executed the scaffold. The French people real led it guillotine, or the man had his cut off.

This happened in the wear of 1849, in 9 .large -open lot, probably the size of a v hundred acres. The executioner had 4a platform erected about eight feet gSjltgh and fully twenty feet in length. A llairway led up to tile top and in the sinter of the platform was an arrangeIfHent looking like an old style one iftate saw mill.

Instead of the saw was a plow share *~i\} Shaped knife, probably twenty-four git s inches size which fastened to the fframe and a block in the center high enough for any man to kneel down and put his head in the opening, fitting in a way to allow the big knife, to come down in the frame so that the head 'mild drop in a batket in the opposite

.side of the frame. Boylike, I was very anxious to see fy £he thing done and crowded as close

I could to see It all. The man or ttiurderer went up th* steps unaided and after the executioneer had the man fastened and strapped, he pulled the string and the knife came uown and the head flew in the basket. I am satisfied more than a thoustand people J) crowded around the scaffold to see the ",i execution, probably the last one of that kind.

Lei prig t« situated along the river f'called the pielse, a little stream runw^|l#iing through the town. The country ^^Iftbout Ielpzlg Is very fertile and a number of little villages are within

I 'easy reach of the place. These are ^pleasure resorts. To reaoh Gollti you can go through a large park called the

Rosenthal, probably 600 acres in exV'^nt. At the time I warn living In & Golitz, Leljwlg had large gates which R'%ere closed at 10 o'clock ©very night, 46mf»thlng Ilk* a toll-gate In thlsconnjg|||jtry and occupied by a watchman who open the gate and l«t the people

«.s?

If they were entitled to oome In.

"%JpOf course, all these things have ^'^ianged now,' and only a few people Tfecollect it.

Our family left that country in 1884 for America. v

terribly mangled,, and one of the women was found on the fender of the train.

The train stopped Immediately affer the accident and members of the crew went to the aid of the injured. A northbound passenger train was flagged and took them to Indianapolis, where relatives were notified. Smith was taken to the city hospital and placed on the operating table.

A post card addressed to R. C. Smith and a letter addressed to Mrs. N. E3 Harris* in care of Mr. Smith, gave the ftrst clues to the identity of the autoists.' The body of a email dog, the Smith family pet, was found mangled beside the track.

Mr. McKaney, who was riding on the front coach of the passenger train, said Smith apparently made no effort to stop the car and it was squarely in the path of the train when struck. "I was looking at the mud covered automobile as it was coming up. the road," said Mr. McKaney. I thought the driver saw the train as he was net going very fast. I did not think of the possibility of tui accident until the train was upon them. I saw a colored woman try to warn the passengers of the auto but her efforts were futile. The bodies were badly mangled. The two women and the little girl were dead when they were picked up by members of the train crew. The man •was still alive but barely breathing."

Mr. McKay was returning from Indianapolis to his home in Burnett. All of the bodies were taken to a morgue In Indiariapolis and relatives notified. Mrs. Clark was called on the telephone by the^ police and informed of the tragedy.

Neighbors said the Smiths had been planning the trip to Indianapolis for some time.

NE of the first places where the people of the United States are going to feel the effect of this nation's entry into the war is in increased fopd costs.

This is inevitable. No matter who you are or where you live, you are going to feel it unless you do something about it right away. What can you do, and how shall you do it? Every man and woman whd has room in his yard or who can get the use of a vacant lot near his home to start a .^garden should think and act right now.

You to whom this idea is new will be surpris^d to know that the yield from even a smalf plot of ground will produce enough vegetables to feed a family of five- all silm-. mer. 'Figure this out in dollars and cents -and you will be surprised at the amount of money a small garden will save you iji a single season. Invest the cost of necessary seeds and the small amount of labor required and you will be delighted at the additional goodness you will enjoy in fresh garden truck picked right out of your own patch.

Try this plan, beginning now—this month is planting time, and you will find that you will be distinctly benefitecLphysically—yes,, and mentally, too—by the wholesome outdoor work of pottering around in the ground among growing things.

And right here is where you will find the hew Encyclopaedia Britannica of immense practical value.

Order .-your Britannica NOW or you can NEVER buy it.

It will tell you what kind of ground each crop needs. It will tell you how to prepare the ground, how far apart to plant the rows of seeds, when to plant, how to cultivate the ground while things are growing, and it even gives the names of reliable varieties of seeds.

The Britannica describes local crops and any local methods of farming tjiat are of special interest. It contains some 600 articles on individual plants.

The article ^Soil" (Vol. 25, p. '345) tells, how to make the best "quality of soil. The article Manures and Manuring tells about fertilizing, the supplying of ingredients "the soil needs to make it most fertile. There are articles bn Bacteriology, the effects of Sunlight, Shade, Heat, Cold, Water enough, Drainage* Irrigation, Reclamation of waste land.

There is an article that tells how to fight all kinds of pests from bug and the like to the larger enemies likp the rabbit. It is safe to say that any amateur gardener with the help and instruction to be found in the Britan-

Food Prices

nica can multiply his chances of "success and the yield from his patch many, many times.

Think of this matter of food supply seriously. It wilibecome very serious if the war runs on.

Every farmer of a dozen acres or many hundreds of acres, growing such staples as wheat, barley, corn, rye, hay, cotton, etc., will be called updn to increase the yield and reliability of his crops. The farmers of big farms will find in tlje Britannica articles full of'information and help to them, for the agricultural articles and articles 3n correlated subjects are written- by agricultural experts of world-renown.

The Britannica is the highest authority in the world for information on all farming subjects, including live stock and the animal industry.

If you have room for poultry, the Britannica articles on Poultry and Poultry Farming will help you to make this a 'successful economic side line.

Bee keeping ana the honey industry is a method of food production that is interesting and practically without expense. People who live in apart nient houses in the cities, miles from the country, have kept bees on their roofs successfully and profitably. The Britannica articles on the Bee (Vol. 3, p. 625) and Honey (Vol. 13, p. 776) a e o e e and instructive.
